You're viewing a single thread.
Fort Tolukko's unusual phallic layout is a function of the immediate topography.
If you are looking for deliberately phallic historic floor plans, the most well known is the Oikema House of Pleasure (a brothel) by Claude-Nicolas Ledoux from 1780 (not built unfortunately, as most of his other plans)
Regardless, the symbolism is hard to ignore.
Might actually be the sort of architecture RCE could get behind.
